Season is on!

Last weekend was my first race (regional event) and at the same time first real mountain biking of the season.  As you know, here in Quebec we had a crazy winter and the snow is still there in some area of the province.  Anyway, first race was not easy with the rain and the cold temperature in Bromont.  I managed to finish 4th in the open category.  I was happy with this first result after one year off because of my pregnancy.  I know I can improve and the season is just beginning.  This is the first time I ride a Gary Fisher and also first time on a 29er (Superfly).  I can tell that I am very impressed of the bike:  Very light, stiff, comfortable and it is a great climber!!!  I still need to practice a lot in the technical trails near my home to familiarize more with the bike.  Maybe in one week the snow will be an old history and I will do more mountain bike.  Next race in 2 weeks with the first round of the Quebec Cup in the expert category for me.
